DC Lagoon Creature Robert Mueller improperly obtained transition documents in Russia Kangaroo probe



I've been calling Robert Mueller the DC Lagoon Creatures and his investigation a Kangaroo probe for weeks. 
And this was before we heard the name Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Orr.  I think I'm vindicated thus far. 

Fox News reports a lawyer for the Trump presidential transition team is accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office of inappropriately obtaining transition documents as part of its Russia probe, including confidential attorney-client communications and privileged communications.

In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent to House and Senate committees on Saturday, the transition team’s attorney alleges “unlawful conduct” by the career staff at the General Services Administration in handing over transition documents to the special counsel’s office.

Kory Langhofer, the counsel to Trump for America, wrote in the letter that the special counsel’s office is aware that the GSA “did not own or control the records in question.”

But, Langhofer says, Mueller’s team has “extensively used the materials in question, including portions that are susceptible to claims of privilege.”

The special counsel’s office did not immediately return a request for comment Saturday. 

The Trump transition team lawyer argued the actions “impair the ability of future presidential transition teams to candidly discuss policy and internal matters that benefit the country as a whole.”
